★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 27 reviews · 2 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $59 a head

Drive a two- or four-person speedboat from Marina Chac Chi through Nichupté Lagoon, then head to the Mayan Reef for snorkeling. Certified guides provide safety training and equipment. Noel has earned praise for his care and humor, though rough seas can shorten the swim and a 600 MXN per-person fee is charged locally.

“The place is tucked away on the beach behind the Cancún Beach Resort with no signs. Good thing they have a person standing at the front of the resort directing and showing people where to go. Everyone was very friendly. Two things, they said it was too windy to snorkel. Also, you can hear the tour guide because there’s no radios. You’re basically paying to drive a small boat around Cancun for 2 hours”

“What a great excursion! It was fun to drive the speedboat and the snorkeling was the best we had ever seen! They bring fish food and throw it in the water which makes the fish swarm around you…it was really cool. We also saw a sea turtle, a sea cucumber, and a puffer fish in addition to the other small colorful fish. Our guide was very nice and explained how to drive the boats thoroughly. Would definitely do again.”
